Atlanta Blepharoplasty Surgery

The eyes capture an individuals primary attention during an initial impression. They also show the first signs of aging in the face. Excess skin and bulging of fat develops around the eye giving one a tired, sad appearance. Fat pseudoherniation in the lower eyelid causes the bags that form, and the redundant skin that accumulates in the upper eyelid is known as dermatocholasis. The surgical procedure that corrects these effects and gives a more youthful appearance is known as a Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift).

Eye Lift Plastic Surgeon

Blepharoplasty surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries today. In fact, it is one of the top five cosmetic surgeries performed. A major reason it has become such a popular cosmetic procedure is because it can make a persons face look 10 years younger without any additional procedures such as a midface lift or face lift.

Benefits of Having Blepharoplasty Surgery

Blepharoplasty is not only used to restore beauty and youth to the eyes, it can also be performed for functional reasons, for excess skin hanging over the eyes blocking ones vision. Whether you need blepharoplasty for functional or cosmetic reasons, this procedure will remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids.

Incisions are camouflaged in the natural creases of the eyelids during both upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Fat removal from around the eye along with skin removal is customary with these procedures. We believe in conservative fat removal with repositioning to avoid a hollowed sunken appearance and improve the natural transition from the lower eyelid to the midface. As a result, it restores youth and beauty to the eyelids. Additional skin rejuvenation procedures around the eyes can be the icing on the cake, so to speak, in periorbital rejuvenation.

Blepharoplasty Surgery Recovery Time-frame

A thorough, comprehensive consultation must be performed to insure that a brow lift procedure isn’t indicated instead of or in combination with the procedure. Blepharoplasty can be done safely in the office under local anesthesia or in the operating room with sedation and takes around 1 to 2 hours to perform. Recovery is normally fast with the ability to return to work in 3 to 5 days.
